Given how fundamental XML is to Flex applicaitons, how annoying is it that no plug-in to edit XML files is included in Flex Builder (as of Beta 2)? If, like me, you're used to Visual Studio, the lack of an XML editor in Flex Builder is a pain. Someone recomended X-Men's Eclipse Plug-in to me but it looks pretty basic. Has anyone had experience with other XML plug-ins for Flex Builder?

About Me

After graduating from Cambridge University I worked in SCO's UNIX kernel team and then in DEC's VMS kernel team at their European R&D center in Italy, a team led by David Solomon, the author of the Windows Internals books.
In 2000, I joined the award-winning British start-up, Searchspace, a company whose AI software is used by financial services organizations around the world to detect and investigate money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion and organized crime.
After working the City at one of the leading investment banks I went on to build a Flex development team at the world's largest betting exchange, betfair.com. I am currently with Rule Financial Ltd., a London-based consulting company providing specialist business and technical consulting to the investment banks.
